Summary

Dear Miss Ricci

You don’t know this yet, but you will be my wife。

Sincerely

Your soon-to-be husband

He thought I was his—that’s what his emails indicated。

He thought that because our families signed on the dotted line many years ago, it was a done deal。

But I ran away from that life for a reason。

Little did I know, he would find me。 And he wasn’t going to take no for an answer。

Crue wanted me to be his wife。

And all I wanted was him in my bed。

Loved it。 Crue is a walking talking red flag that I couldn't help but love。'You are a walking red flag, you know that, right?' she yells。'Luckily for you, red is your favorite color besides black,' I yell back。Rya reminds me of myself — her stubborn nature, running away from feelings but realizing she loved him when he finally left her。 Yep, that's definitely me。This is my first time reading T。L。 Smith's book。 I saw the author's reel on Instagram and was eagerly anticipating the book's release。 Loved it。 Crue is a walking talking red flag that I couldn't help but love。'You are a walking red flag, you know that, right?' she yells。'Luckily for you, red is your favorite color besides black,' I yell back。Rya reminds me of myself — her stubborn nature, running away from feelings but realizing she loved him when he finally left her。 Yep, that's definitely me。This is my first time reading T。L。 Smith's book。 I saw the author's reel on Instagram and was eagerly anticipating the book's release。 I can confidently say it won't be my last ❤️ 。。。more

I’m sorry but it wasn’t really for me! 。。。more

Not bad。 I needed some light reading and it was exactly that。 Not too serious。 Even the mafia stuff was pretty tame。 Loved the cat and mouse chase of Crue and Rae

Shannon

Loved the angst and edge of danger throughout this book, fast paced and kept me guessing!!!

Nicole Brittany

had me hooked This was such a good read! Literally stayed up and finished it in one day! This was an epic love story! If you’re looking for a spicy mafia romance this is the book for you! Highly recommend!

All Arya wants is freedom。 Arranged marriage is not for her。 She becomes a lawyer and she loves her life。 Then comes Crue and his craziness and takes over her life。 She loves the single life。 Marriage is not for her。 Crue is obsessed with her and loves the hunt。 She’s bad A&&。 She knows what she wants。 His a little crazy but his very good at what he does。 Challenging her and breaking her down is his mission。 Ready set。 Game on。 You won’t put it down till the last page。

4⭐️I enjoyed this book。 It wasn’t a 5 star for me because I feel like it wasn’t unique other than Rya。 She is a mouthy bad word and knows exactly what she wants。 I really enjoyed her character。 The plot was good just wasn’t unique for me。 Otherwise, I still really enjoyed this book。 I recommend。 Check TW/CW。

I loved that Rya was feisty af but they really had no chemistry。 I'm usually a sucker for forced/arranged marriage or enemies to lovers but they just didn't seem like they were meant to be。 The church scene was definitely great but I would have liked to see him lose his shit over her shooting him a little bit more。。。。 why did we have to wait so long before he stopped using condoms? also I kinda want to talk about that bonus scene because I needed that decision in the book。。。。3。5 ⭐️ I rounded up I loved that Rya was feisty af but they really had no chemistry。 I'm usually a sucker for forced/arranged marriage or enemies to lovers but they just didn't seem like they were meant to be。 The church scene was definitely great but I would have liked to see him lose his shit over her shooting him a little bit more。。。。 why did we have to wait so long before he stopped using condoms? also I kinda want to talk about that bonus scene because I needed that decision in the book。。。。3。5 ⭐️ I rounded up because I usually really love T。L。's books but this one just wasn't it for me 。。。more

I absolutely devoured this book。 This is a first in reading these two authors paired together and they did not disappoint。 In love with the OTT, possessive, alpha-hole that is Crue。 His demanding and bluntness make him a walking red flag, but even with it all, he was endearing。Then we have Rya who is a bad ass in her own regard。 Love a strong, no nonsense heroine。 She definitely gave Crue a run for his money and they kept one another on their toes。 The banter alone was one for the record books。 I absolutely devoured this book。 This is a first in reading these two authors paired together and they did not disappoint。 In love with the OTT, possessive, alpha-hole that is Crue。 His demanding and bluntness make him a walking red flag, but even with it all, he was endearing。Then we have Rya who is a bad ass in her own regard。 Love a strong, no nonsense heroine。 She definitely gave Crue a run for his money and they kept one another on their toes。 The banter alone was one for the record books。 Very well written and the side characters all played their roles accordingly。 Can't wait to see if something happens for the others involved。 Not quite ready to let go of the madness that follows these families。 。。。more

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This is mafia romance has a wonderfully bull-headed pair with spicey chemistry。 Their relationship is all kinds of toxic in the most entertaining way。 Good read。

What to say about Lethal Vows that hasn't already been said before。 I was hooked to each and every word that was written。 So enamored by these colorful and eclectic characters, I was left not knowing how to recover。 These characters were so entertaining。 Their personalities polar opposite。 The clashes they had were epic, and the solving of their problems was arousing and tantalising。 Neither would give an inch, and it was a true privilege to learn all about what makes them tick。 I don't think th What to say about Lethal Vows that hasn't already been said before。 I was hooked to each and every word that was written。 So enamored by these colorful and eclectic characters, I was left not knowing how to recover。 These characters were so entertaining。 Their personalities polar opposite。 The clashes they had were epic, and the solving of their problems was arousing and tantalising。 Neither would give an inch, and it was a true privilege to learn all about what makes them tick。 I don't think the reader will ever get the true magnitude that are these characters。 Thats why these stories can be enjoyed many times over。 The authors create enough intrigue that keeps you coming back for more, with an insatiable urgency to learn everything and anything about this amazing cast and their journeys。 An energetic new collaboration of authors brings a masterful menagerie of dangerous, edgy and tenacious characters that will be a blissful addition to any library。 This one certainly calms the alluring craving for excitement and the love of devilish scoundrels and their mischievous and beautiful damsels。 5 stars 。。。more

Even though she was born into it, Riya wanted nothing to do with the mafia lifestyle or the marriage that was arranged for her when she was a teenager so instead, she left at her first opportunity and years later she is a successful attorney。 Her past is about to catch up with her when the man she was promised to has decided to finally claim her as his own regardless of what she thinks。Crue is a powerful man within the mafia and has always know that Riya was destined to be his。 He has given her Even though she was born into it, Riya wanted nothing to do with the mafia lifestyle or the marriage that was arranged for her when she was a teenager so instead, she left at her first opportunity and years later she is a successful attorney。 Her past is about to catch up with her when the man she was promised to has decided to finally claim her as his own regardless of what she thinks。Crue is a powerful man within the mafia and has always know that Riya was destined to be his。 He has given her the time and distance to pursue her goals but that is about to come to an end, and he isn’t about to let anyone or anything stand in their way and that includes her。Riya is strong, independent and challenges Crue at every turn which only makes Crue want her more。 When it comes to Crue failure is not an option as they take us on a journey filled with hot chemistry, surprises and entertaining interactions。 。。。more

Mafia man obsessed? Say no more! Crue was the definition of an obsessed mafia man。 From the moment he saw her he knew Rye was it。 Rye however, refuses to be part of this mafia world, even though she was born into it。 When the time passes by and Crue comes to collect what’s his everything becomes more intense。 Rye continues to fight the attraction she’s starting to feel for Crue, but she can only fight it for so long ! I won’t say anymore to avoid spoilers。

BookBabe

Cure and Rya just made my top 3 favorite couples from TL Smith!! Holy 🔥 I started it and could not put it down。 Crue is the alpha male we long for, broody, dominant, and always gets what he wants。 While our Rya is an independent baddie who hates being told what to do and created a name for herself aside from her family。 Their story was riveting and everything I needed from the spice to the story 👏🏼

I enjoyed this co-written story。 I've only read one of the author's work before, but I will need to catch up on books from the other now! This story was a dark mafia romance, with a stubborn FMC。。 and I suppose a stubborn MMC, too! They both had responsibilities to their families, and while Crue was willing to do whatever crazy thing it took to get Rya down the aisle to fulfill his commitment, she was adamant she wanted no part of that lifestyle。 I liked the push/pull dynamic between them, and t I enjoyed this co-written story。 I've only read one of the author's work before, but I will need to catch up on books from the other now!

Not RecommenedThe angst was excessive and overdone。 Mr。 Luca was left as a loose end, and Dawson was not adequately brought into the plot。 The auction really isn’t tied into the plot very well。 A bratva sounding family is briefly brought into the story, but there is nothing that ties them into the plot other than hosting the auction。 Honestly, this story felt like it was just pieced together from two different story outlines。 I do not feel this is representative of T。L。 Smith’s typical works, an Not RecommenedThe angst was excessive and overdone。 Mr。 Luca was left as a loose end, and Dawson was not adequately brought into the plot。 The auction really isn’t tied into the plot very well。 A bratva sounding family is briefly brought into the story, but there is nothing that ties them into the plot other than hosting the auction。 Honestly, this story felt like it was just pieced together from two different story outlines。 I do not feel this is representative of T。L。 Smith’s typical works, and I am unfamiliar with Carrington-Russell。 My three star rating was because this had potential and I didn’t notice any grammatical issues。 This isn’t a story I will recommend。 I’m sorry, I wanted to like and enjoy this story 。。。more

If you love a man that is possessive, very powerful in the criminal world & also is a pain in the rear, but he definitely makes up for it in the bedroom department then Mr。 Crue Monti is your man。 This book had me wrapped up in it, I became quickly obsessed with these characters。 At a young age Rya Ricci knew she was born into a world she wanted no part of & with her dad signing a contract that would arrange a marriage for her in the future, she knew she needed to escape to her mothers in New Yo If you love a man that is possessive, very powerful in the criminal world & also is a pain in the rear, but he definitely makes up for it in the bedroom department then Mr。 Crue Monti is your man。 This book had me wrapped up in it, I became quickly obsessed with these characters。 At a young age Rya Ricci knew she was born into a world she wanted no part of & with her dad signing a contract that would arrange a marriage for her in the future, she knew she needed to escape to her mothers in New York at the age of 16。 Of course Crue being the man she was supposed to marry, he gives her time to get that freedom out, but it had a timestamp。 Rya made a name for herself in New York being one of the best criminal defense lawyers & she was a vixen when it came to the courtroom, she didn’t want to be tied down or even have kids。 Now of course that didn’t change when Crue showed up to make her his wife, but he didn’t give up that easily。 The tension & passion between these two was off the charts, the way they devoured each other even after Rya would push his buttons。 I was in a big of shock at the church, but honestly what did he expect from a strong willed woman even Angel warned him multiple times。 I was definitely picking my jaw off the floor when it came to Honey, Crue definitely pushed that one a little too far。 This last few chapters were the hardest & best chapters because of all the stuff that happened, but it was the best ending to their chaotic romance & journey。 Plus that bonus chapter left me jumping to my feet cheering! These authors came together & made a lethal team! 。。。more
